Penylan Surgery

It is for the use of little; local companies like this one as to why we need the help of websites like Unilocal to tell us all about a place, locally from a personal perspective.
I say this because I have found it hard myself when I’ve been trying look up certain companies information and details about the place and to have a good photograph on hand to know what the company looks like. So it is great to have people like us going out and about experiencing places like this surgery.
Or by simply taking a trip down memory lane; by writing about where we have been in the past. This surgery is a small place where it has a reception desk and a waiting room for you to wait and here your name be called for a doctor’s appointment.
Swine Flu Vaccinations are taken place here at this surgery now. This is particularly for those people who are 65 years of age or older and women who are pregnant. You need to go to the surgery to make an urgent appointment.
The building has access for disabled patients, but be aware that this is located through their car park at the rear. All records for every individual are kept confidential and this company is a part of the NHS.
I recommend this place to all locals to use as the staff are very caring and kind.

I know that, generally speaking, you don’t have a lot of choice of which doctors you can visit. You have to live within certain catchment areas and if you’ve only got one surgery near you, that’s the one you’re stuck with. However, there are a few surgeries in Roath and Penylan, and Penylan Surgery is one of the best. It’s also one of the biggest and easiest to get to, situated on Penylan Road with its own car park, plenty of street parking nearby and a bus stop just outside.
The waiting area is big — no sitting up close and personal with other sick people — and it’s modern and comfortable with lots to read. Of course, you’re not there to sit and read Hello magazine, but there’s nothing worse than crawling to the doctors feeling like death and having to wait on a hard chair in a loud, crowded room with a bunch of similarly unwell strangers.
The receptionists are lovely, and by far some of the nicest and most helpful I’ve ever dealt with. Prescriptions and test results are processed quite quickly, and they will always try and get you an appointment when you need one.
If you do join this surgery, there are many doctors available, and, during my time at university with all the wonderful illnesses that students share with each other, I have seen them all at some point. They are all great doctors, but if you get a choice, go for Dr Triggs or Dr Gordon. These two female doctors are amazing. They go above and beyond in their attempts to help you — whatever your problem — rather than just sending you home to «get some rest and drink a lot».

The doctors here go by the names of Bowen, Rees, Lane, Scolding and Davies. The area covered by the practice includes Roath, Penylan, Llanedeyrn, Lisvane, Llanishen, Cathays, Pentwyn, Birchgrove, Heath and Cyncoed. You can make an appointment to see a doctor. Or a nurse. To make an appointment telephone 029 2048 8299 during opening hours, or call in personally at reception.
They offer a range of services over and above General Medical Services, including Maternity Medical Services (Antenatal, Post Natal), Child Health Surveillance (which sounds a lot more sinister than it actually is), Baby and Childhood Immunisation Clinics and more.
The building has access, through the car park at the rear, for disabled patients.
